Manolo, born 19 years ago in Morocco, omitted his name so that nobody can find you. Since I was alone, he says, when he entered a juvenile of the Generalitat in 2006. "They gave me the papers and let me go. Nothing else." Then back to the streets with the same support that long ago, the same expectations. "Expectations of what? "answers annoyed with so many questions and inquiries about his name." Put my name Manolo ", calls out in the middle removed. Each year, about 550 of the 1,700 children housed in residential facilities of the Generalitat majority met with a suitcase.

The other faces such as a complex picture with no family support or administrative. Without work and without work permit, a document that can only apply if they have a job.

Foreigners come with 16 or 17 years to get the papers. Rarely have known in the country. "When they are 18 they are all complicated to 500%. It is too easy to get lost," he notes.
